This Bill was referred to in the last Report. The object
which the Board had in view having been sufficiently
emphasised, the petition against the Bill was withdrawn,
and in due course it passed into law. Some proceedings
have since taken place between the Receiver of Police and
the owner of the property, but no works have yet been
executed.

Act; General Sanitary Work ; and The Sale of Food and
Drugs Acts.

the abatement of nuisances served; 38 cases occurred where
proceedings were necessary; in every instance orders were
made by the Magistrates for the execution of the necessary
